Turning The Air(waves) Blue

(As my husband and I are checking out with a very friendly cashier, her radio beeps on, and we hear her coworkers speaking.)

Coworker #1: “Hey, [Name]! Are you going to come help me with this customer or not?”

Coworker #2: “I’m in firewood with someone.”

Coworker #1: “My God, you light it on fire! Hurry up! D*** it!”

(The cashier puts a hand over her mouth.)

Cashier: “I am SO sorry you had to hear my coworker swear.”

Me: “Oh, it’s fine. I’m sure—”

Coworker #2: “Yeah, well, why don’t you tell my customer that, you a**?”

Cashier: “I beg your pardon.”

(She pulls her radio from her vest to speak into it.)

Cashier: “Okay. Let’s be nice, children. MY customers don’t appreciate hearing you swear over the radio. Thanks.”
